Etymology

The word 'author' comes from the Middle English 'auctour', which is derived from the Old French 'autor' and the Latin 'auctor'. The term originally referred to someone who created or initiated something, especially a literary work. Over time, 'author' has come to be used more broadly to describe anyone who creates or originates content, not just in the realm of literature.
